The Bible outlines two roads and two destinations in eternity, the way of the righteous leading to life and the way of the ungodly leading to death. The Lord Jesus taught that there is only one way to life, and it is through Him. The Bible emphasizes the importance of choosing the God-centered viewpoint and walking in the way of righteousness.

Welcome to the Days Appraise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The Two Ways. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psalm 1:6. This verse outlines the inescapable truth that there are only two roads and two destinations to which they lead in eternity.
The word way, Hebrew derik, means road. There is only one way leading to heaven, the way of the righteous, and one way leading to hell, the way of the ungodly. This is a very common word in Scripture, but it is significant that its first occurrence is in Genesis 3.24, referring to the way of the tree of life. Once expelled from the Garden of Eden because of their rebellion, Adam and Eve no longer could travel that way of life and began to die. The equivalent Greek word in the New Testament is hodos, also meaning road, and it too occurs quite frequently.
Its literal meaning, that of an actual roadway, lends itself very easily to the figure of a style of life whose practice leads inevitably to a certain destiny. Since there are only two basic ways of looking at life, the God-centered viewpoint and the man-centered viewpoint, there are only two ways of life: the way of the godly. and the way of the ungodly. The one leads to life, the other to death. There is no other way.
The Lord Jesus taught, Enter ye in at the straight, i. e. narrow, gate, for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction. and many there be which go in thereat. because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matthew seven, thirteen, and fourteen. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs fourteen twelve 1625. But what is the way of the righteous that leads to life? I am the way, said the Lord Jesus.
No man cometh unto the Father but by me. John 14, 6. This is the way. Walk ye in it. Isaiah Thirty.
